The fifth pillar

Zakat on investments.

The only UK halal investing platform with a built-in Zakat calculator.

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam: an annual obligation to give 2.5% of your net zakatable wealth to those in need, if your wealth has been above the Nisab threshold for one lunar year.

This includes your investments.

N

Nisab The minimum threshold

Currently £380 (silver) or £5,424 (gold). If your net wealth is below this, no Zakat is due.

H

Hawl The lunar year

Zakat is only due if your wealth has been above the Nisab threshold for a full Islamic year, which is 354 days.

R

Rate 2.5% of net zakatable wealth

Everything above the Nisab threshold, after deducting debts and immediate liabilities, at 2.5%.

This calculator provides an estimate. For definitive rulings on your specific situation, consult a qualified Islamic scholar.

Current Nisab Threshold

Based on prevailing precious metal prices

Gold Nisab

87.48g at ~£62.00/g

£5,424

Silver Nisab

612.36g at ~£0.62/g

£380

Most scholars: use the lower of the two thresholds (silver nisab), as this ensures more people fulfil the obligation.

Nisab last updated June 2025. Gold price fluctuates, so verify at goldprice.org.

Can I pay Zakat directly to an individual or family?

Yes, this is permissible, and many scholars consider it more meritorious as it creates a direct connection between giver and recipient. Consult your local mosque or Islamic charity for guidance on finding recipients in your community.

This calculator is provided for guidance only and does not constitute a fatwa or formal religious ruling. For your specific circumstances, consult a qualified Islamic scholar or a trusted Zakat organisation.
